I guess we are in the same stage. I have my psych eval tomorrow and then they will submit everything. Praying they say yes and I get a date.

I hope they say yes to you as well! It's crazy that they even have an option to deny us. Especially if we have health issues that this would benefit. My clearance eval was pushed back from 10/12 to 10/31 do to a conflict at the drs office. Which is frustrating me.

I remember going through this process. I was a basket case in some ways. I was sure I was going to be denied, since it had happened 6 years previously. I refused to invest too much into the surgery until I got the approval, but part of me still believed it was going to happen, so I was very conflicted. I went and bought clothes to show to myself that I had faith it was going to be approved but refused to donate my old clothes until after I got home from surgery because I was afraid something would still happen to prevent surgery even after I got the approval. We all have issues and fears connected with this, you are so not alone. Yes I am now 3 1/2 months out, but now my fears are different and I still have to practice putting my fears in their places etc.

Keep asking questions and we will keep helping. Keep sharing your feelings and we will keep supporting, that is why we are all here. Feel free to ask me questions personal or otherwise and I will be glad to answer, I am an open book. The psych eval made me nervous but honestly most therapists (and being one I think this is overall the truth) are there to help and if you are honest and open you will be fine, Remember they meet with people all the time going through the same process so nothing you say or feel will surprise them. Good luck on the eval and just be yourself and you will be fine, I am sure of it.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
